Notes From Visitors

This Camp has truly provided me invaluable experiences that I believe that has better prepared me to be independent, good role model, caregiver, leader, etc.It also prepared me for any other jobs, working with people who have disabilities that I would do for my new job!Thanks so much for providing this camp. Someday in the future, I plan on to be a member and volunteer of the Lions club in my district and encourage the club to donate money for this camp!

I was so happy that I broke down in tears... It's amazing what a week at camp did for my son.

Our family is so thankful for your camp. It is a wonderful place for our child to be with kids just "like her". We feel she is very safe and taken care of in every way, in the best possible way.

The Links Program in our school system is a program that links a student with another student that has autism. Two of our teams participated in your challenge course. Those two teams bonded for the school year, where the other teams did not. Good Job!

This is hands down the best camp ever! I wish I didn't have to grow up. I wish I could go to camp for the rest of my life. Love It. Great staff, great activities, and great campers.

My visually impaired daughters just spent 2 wonderful weeks at Lions Bear Lake Camp. Because of Lions Clubs and their donors, the camp was almost free. There are not many camps that are or are even willing to accommodate to my daughters' needs. Not only does this camp accommodate, it is a camp designed to fit their needs. All Physically challenged youth are accommodated. This is one thing, you as donors, are making possible for these children and I would like to thank you all.

8 years and strong for my son who is a CIT this year. There is no place he would rather be than Camp Dakota. The Arthritis Foundation Staff, medical staff, as well as the Lions Bear Lake Camp Staff are all incredible and very dedicated.

I love how my daughter isn't singled out for her illness and doesn't have to explain why she has to take meds, has shots or infusions. Everyone is the same. And of course she had a great time.

I worked at Bear Lake Camp for two summers, 2005 and 2006. My experience as a staff member led me into my current career as a special education teacher. The facilities are top-notch; what a great opportunity for children with disabilities!
